CURE2024 Taiwan New Cinema and Beyond: Authorship, Transnationality, Historiography 2019/20 Term 1 CURE2024 Taiwan New Cinema and Beyond: Authorship, Transnationality, Historiography 2019/20 Term 1 This is a TENTATIVE outline. The reading items and weekly discussion topics are subject to change. Lecture: Tuesday 2:30 – 4:15 pm Venue: TCC C3 (鄭棟材樓) Tutorial: Wednesday 4:30 – 5:15 pm (plus other times) Venue: tbc Lecturer: Prof. LIM Song Hwee 林松輝 Email: [email protected] Office: Room 213 Leung Kau Kui Building Office tel: 39439872 Tutor: tbc Email: tbc 1 AIMS This module aims to familiarise students with the key works of the Taiwan New Cinema movement and its legacy beyond Taiwan and into the twenty-first century. It will explore not just the work of a wide array of film directors, but also the texts and the condition of their production, distribution, exhibition and consumption within a transnational framework, all of which impinge on the question of “national” film historiography. It will examine, in particular: the socio-political background of the emergence of the Taiwan New Cinema movement, its key directors and their works, the international context of their reception and the transnational nature of their production, and its legacy to date. It will provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the work of selected film authors and an awareness of the cinematic, cultural, and socio-political contexts in which they work, and enable students to analyse the work in relation to questions of transnationality and historiography. LEARNING AND TEACHING ACTIVITIES Teaching is by a weekly lecture and tutorial. Lectures will introduce key concepts and contextual background. Students will be expected to participate in discussions and to prepare for group presentations in tutorials. Lectures will be delivered in English and Cantonese; group presentation and tutorial discussion can be conducted in English and/or Cantonese. Tutorial plan: Please see separate document to be distributed in class.

    SPRING 2012 FSCP 81000--Aesthetics of Film, Professor Edward Miller, Monday, 4:14-8:15p.m., Room C-419, 3 credits [17259] Cross listed with THEA 71400, ART 79400 & MALS 77100 Ever since the Lumiere Brother's train arrived at the station, film has been concerned with its own mechanics and meanings and the ways in which film not only captures the moment but transforms it, creating an impact upon its audience with distinct aesthetics. This course highlights the self-referentiality of film and argues that a central aspect of the cinematic enterprise is the depiction of the filmmaking environment itself through the "meta- film." Using this emphasis as an entry into aesthetics, the course involves students in graduate- level film discourse by providing them with a thorough understanding of the concepts that are needed to perform a detailed formal analysis. The course's main text is the ninth edition of Bordwell and Thompson's Film Art (2009) and the book is used to examine such key topics as narrative and nonnarrative forms, mise-en-scene, composition, cinematography, camera movement, set design/location, color, duration, editing, sound/music, and genre. In addition, we read key sections of Robert Stam's Reflexivity in Film and Literature: From Don Quixote to Jean-Luc Godard (1992), Christopher Ames' Movies about Movies: Hollywood Revisited (1997), Nöth & Bishara's Self-Reference in the Media (2007), John Thornton Caldwell's Production Culture: Industrial Reflexivity and Critical Practice in Film & Television (2008), and Lisa Konrath's Metafilms: Forms and Functions of Self-Reflexivity in Postmodern Film (2010) in order to strengthen our understanding of the connections between aesthetics and reflexivity.

  • Intermedialtranslation As Circulation
    Journal of World Literature 5 (2020) 568–586 brill.com/jwl Intermedial Translation as Circulation Chu Tien-wen, Taiwan New Cinema, and Taiwan Literature Jessica Siu-yin Yeung soas University of London, London, UK [email protected] Abstract We generally believe that literature first circulates nationally and then scales up through translation and reception at an international level. In contrast, I argue that Taiwan literature first attained international acclaim through intermedial translation during the New Cinema period (1982–90) and was only then subsequently recognized nationally. These intermedial translations included not only adaptations of literature for film, but also collaborations between authors who acted as screenwriters and film- makers. The films resulting from these collaborations repositioned Taiwan as a mul- tilingual, multicultural and democratic nation. These shifts in media facilitated the circulation of these new narratives. Filmmakers could circumvent censorship at home and reach international audiences at Western film festivals. The international success ensured the wide circulation of these narratives in Taiwan. Keywords Taiwan – screenplay – film – allegory – cultural policy 1 Introduction We normally think of literature as circulating beyond the context in which it is written when it obtains national renown, which subsequently leads to interna- tional recognition through translation. In this article, I argue that the contem- porary Taiwanese writer, Chu Tien-wen (b. 1956)’s short stories and screenplays first attained international acclaim through the mode of intermedial transla- tion during the New Cinema period (1982–90) before they gained recognition © jessica siu-yin yeung, 2020 | doi:10.1163/24056480-00504005 This is an open access article distributed under the terms of the cc by 4.0Downloaded license.

  • On Space in Cinema
    1 On Space in Cinema Jacques Levy Ecole polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne [email protected] Abstract The relationship between space and cinema is problematic. Cinema can be seen as a spatial art par excellence, but there are good reasons why this view is superficial. This article focuses on geographical films, which aim to increase our understanding of this dimension of the social world by attempting to depict inhabited space and the inhabitance of this space. The argument is developed in two stages. First, I attempt to show the absence both of space as an environment and of spatiality as an agency in cinematographic production. Both of these contribute to geographicity. Second, I put forward and expand on the idea of opening up new channels between cinema and the social sciences that take space as their object. This approach implies a move away from popular fiction cinema (and its avatar the documentary film) and an establishment of links with aesthetic currents from cinema history that are more likely to resonate with both geography and social science. The article concludes with a “manifesto” comprising ten principles for a scientific cinema of the inhabited space. Keywords: space, spatiality, cinema, history of cinema, diegetic space, distancing, film music, fiction, documentary, scientific films Space appears to be everywhere in film, but in fact it is (almost) nowhere. This observation leads us to reflect on the ways in which space is accommodated in films. I will focus in particular on what could be termed “geographical” films in the sense that they aim to increase our understanding of this dimension of the social world by 2 attempting to depict inhabited space and the inhabitance of this space.

    y friend the architect Colin Fraser Wishart says that the purpose of his craft is to help people live better. There’s beautiful simplicity, but also Menormous gravity in that statement. Just imagine if every public building, city park, urban transportation hub, and home were constructed with the flourishing of humanity - in community or solitude - in mind. Sometimes this is already the case, and we know it when we see it. Our minds and hearts feel more free, we breathe more easily, we are inspired to create things - whether they be new thoughts of something hopeful, or friendships with strangers, or projects that will bring the energy of transformation yet still into the lives of others.

  • Hollywood Abroad: Audiences and Cultural Exchange
    Hollywood Abroad: Audiences and Cultural Exchange By Melvyn Stokes and Richard Maltby (eds.) London, British Film Institute 2004. ISBN: 1-84457-018-5 (hbk), 1-84457-051-7 (pbk). 164 pp. £16.99 (pbk), £50 (hbk) A review by Martin Barker, University of Wales, Aberystwyth This is the fourth in a line of excellent books to have come out of two conferences held in London, on Hollywood and its audiences. This fourth collection deals specifically with the reception of Hollywood films in some very different counties and cultural contexts. The quality and the verve of the essays in here (they are all, without exception, beautifully written) is testimony to the rise and the potentials of the new historical approaches to audiences (which has, I am pleased to see, sedimented into some on-going cross-cultural research projects on local film exhibition histories). I recommend this book, unreservedly. Its contributors demonstrate so well the potential for many kinds of archival research to extend our understanding of film reception. In here you will find essays on the reception of the phenomenon of Hollywood, and sometimes of specific films, in contexts as different as a mining town in Australia in the 1920s (Nancy Huggett and Kate Bowles), in and through an upmarket Japanese cinema in the aftermath of Japan's defeat in 1946 (Hiroshi Kitamura), in colonial Northern Rhodesia in the period leading up to independence (Charles Ambler), and in and around the rising nationalist movements in India in the 1920-30s (Priya Jaikumar). It is important, in understanding this book, that we pay attention to the specificities of these contexts.

Most of these films have been released under more than one title, and while we've done our best to use the one that's most likely to be familiar, that doesn't guarantee you aren't trying to find Crippled Avengers and don't know we've got it as The Return of the 5 Deadly Venoms. And so, we've gathered as many alternative titles as we can find, including their original language title(s), and arranged them in alphabetical order in this index to help you out. Remember, English language articles ("a", "an", "the") are ignored in the sort, but foreign articles are NOT ignored. Hey, my Japanese is a little rusty, and some languages just don't have articles.
